Russian climate envoy and personal advisor to President Vladimir Putin, Anatoly Chubais, has resigned and left the country on Wednesday, citing his opposition to the war in Ukraine. Chubais is the highest-level official to break off from Moscow over the invasion. Known as the architect of Russia’s 1990s privatization, Chubais gave Putin his first Kremlin job in the mid-1990s.
